Does sin befall a husband who has abandoned his wife for more than three years due to her numerous problems and neglect, especially since there are adult children, and is he permitted to marry to avoid falling into sin?
Polygyny is permissible for one who can be just, and it may even become obligatory if the wife does not relieve her husband due to illness or old age, and he fears falling into sin.
It is not permissible for a man to be absent from his wife or to refrain from intimacy with her for more than four months without her permission and consent.
The wife is not obligated to love her husband's family as much as she loves her own, but she must treat them with kindness.
If the money placed by the wife in the post office is her own private money, there is no harm in it. However, if it is the husband's money, it is not permissible for her to do so, and she must return it.
It is not permissible for a wife to refuse her husband's call to the marital bed unless there is a legitimate excuse. For in the : "If a woman spends the night forsaking her husband's bed, the angels curse her until she returns," and in another: "If a man calls his wife for his need, she should come to him even if she is at the oven."
